Let x k = k / n . Then, dividing the numerator and the denominator by n 4 , we have n → ∞ lim k = 1 ∑ n n 1 3 + n − 2 + n − 3 + 5 x k n − 3 λ x k 4 + 2 x k 3 n − 1 + x k 2 n − 2 + x k n − 3 + n − 4 = n → ∞ lim k = 1 ∑ n n 1 3 λ x k 4
In the last equality, we observed that each term of the numerator that had a negative power of n was zero when taken the limit.
The last expression is the Riemman sum of the function f ( x ) = λ x 4 / 3 , which converges to the integral from 0 to 1 of the function f . Thus, ∫ 0 1 3 λ x 4 d x 5 λ x 5 ∣ ∣ ∣ 0 1 λ = 3 1 , = 1 = 5 .
